Archivist of the United States Professor Allen Weinstein spoke to us via teleconference today. We had employess from across the nation on the speaker phone. Those who served 20 years or more were nationally recognized. NPRC St. Louis had quite a few. Nice to see civil servants years of honorable service recognized.About the National Archives
Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever.
Those valuable records are preserved and are available to you, whether you want to see if they contain clues about your family’s history, need to prove a veteran’s military service, or are researching an historical topic that interests you.

What's an Archives?
An archives is a place where people can go to gather firsthand facts, data, and evidence from letters, reports, notes, memos, photographs, and other primary sources.
The National Archives is the U.S. Government’s collection of documents that records important events in American history. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the Government agency that preserves and maintains these materials and makes them available for research.
Whether or not you realize it, you probably have an archives in your home. It might be in a filing cabinet in your study, a box in the basement, a chest in the attic. It is your personal archives: a collection of material that records important events from your family’s history.

Hi, your blog is really marvelous, kindly bless me with your noble suggestion on how to improve my blog
latest-news-india.blogspot.com
THANKS!
One thing I try to do on my blog is cover a wide variety of topics. Visual aids help immensely. Having graphics or pictures add color to any blog. My topics are usually gear towards women but I also address issues that would interest both genders. I think because I served in the military it adds a little "flavor" to my topics.
I will check out yours also!
